How to Build a Polytunnel

In this video we show you how to build a polytunnel from Premier Polytunnels in the UK. Our customers often ask: “Will I be able to build my own polytunnel?” The answer is yes, you will! Building a polytunnel in your garden or on your allotment really is a two person job, so invite a willing friend to join you and get stuck in. (Construction of larger, commercial polytunnels may take longer and require an extra pair of hands).
